Easy introduction to entrelac knitting.

A fun tote to embellish as a funky day bag, or knit with beaded yarn for an elegant evening tote. Easy and step-by-step, row-by-row directions. Schematic helps to visualize the base triangles, edge triangles, and rectangles to avoid confusion and to add your own color markers.

End with a twisted cord to use as shoulder strap, a leather thong, or knit an i-cord strap. Line with fancy fabric, linen, or a surprise fabric…..or leave unlined. THEN…embellish with favorite beads, buttons, one of a kind trinket. Shown with African trade beads and Tibetan prayer beads.

Once you learn the sequence of triangles and rectangles, knitting without the directions is a breeze.
